“Womanthology” started as a comics anthology by artist Renae De Liz made entirely by female creators. It features short stories around a central theme, with interviews and how-to’s with some of the industry’s top women creators as well as aspiring young women who want to follow in their footsteps and blaze new trails. The first hardcover, “Womanthology: Heroic,” is already available for purchase at IDW and should hit Amazon and Barnes & Noble next week.

Hernandez says she hasn’t written her “Space” contribution yet, but notes her six-page story will likely further the adventures of Alice Blue Pony from Hernandez’s work in “Comic Book Tattoo,” the Eisner- and Harvey Award-winning anthology based on the songs of Tori Amos. Alice appeared in Hernandez’s “Tattoo” short “Ribbons Undone.”

Hernandez joins more than 100 “Womanthology” talents, which include writers Gail Simone (“Birds of Prey” and “Batgirl”) and Ann Nocenti (“Daredevil”) and artists Fiona Staples (“Saga”) and San Antonio expat Cat Staggs (“Smallville Season 11″).
